First production from ALPHA TREE PRODUCTIONS is (hopefully) soon on the way. I've always had a weird, morbid fascination with BOOGEYMAN, the short story from Stephen King. This story is one of his 'one dollar babies' - short stories where you can buy the rights for just 1 dollar. Though the movie was actually just done last year as a short by an Irish man named Gerard Lough, I figured that shouldn't stop me from doing a - probably - very different version and here in the US. Before I started researching I didn't know it had already been done. Oh, and just to straighten that one out too, the movie 'Boogeyman' from 2005, and the following two sequels has nothing to do with Stephen King's story. This is just a mainstream Hollywood horror film.
I'll keep you posted on the progress of the rights and if we are or are not going forward with the production of this film. If not, have no fear - there are lots of his one dollar babies out there and I'm determined to start off ALPHA TREE PRODUCTIONS with a wonderful Stephen King short film.
If you should be interested in the Gerard Lough's film, the trailer for his version is right here:
